[ WOE ] • The mechanics have been improved to prevent players using a second window from entering the castle during WoE.
[ Skills ]
• When auto-casting the skill Sonic Blow from an item, there is no delay applied to other skills, and the character will no longer stop auto-attacking.
• The descriptions of some skills have been revised.
[ Dungeons ]
• Access to special dungeons [Horror Toy Factory and Niflheim Dungeon] is now available not only on specific dates (the 13th and 27th of each month) but also daily every hour. Every hour, a special dungeon changes; for example, at 08:00 server time, Horror Toy Factory opens, and at 09:00, Niflheim Dungeon will open, while the previous dungeon will close. When a dungeon closes, all characters will be warped outside. On the 13th and 27th of each month, there is free access to the dungeons — there are no rotations, and players can stay in them without restrictions. Notifications for dungeon changes can be enabled in the account settings under the [ Announcements ] menu.
• Monsters in Niflheim Dungeon have become stronger.
[ Quest Board ]
• When turning in collection quests, players now have a choice - (1) Turn in items for experience and a chance to receive Newstyle Coin, (2) Sell items at with 100% overcharge. When using skip tickets for quests, this choice is not provided; the character always receives experience and a chance to get Newstyle Coin.
[ Account Settings ]
• A Night Mode feature has been added to the [ Interface ] menu.
• With the feature disabled, daytime effects apply at all maps unless the night effect is initially set.
• When setting the mode to 'Always On', the night effect will apply to all maps where possible.
• When setting the mode to 'Only on Certain Maps', the night effect will apply only on specific maps (mainly cities and fields).
• A feature for enabling notifications about special dungeon rotations has been added to [ Announcements ].
• When enabled, dungeon rotations will be displayed in chat every hour—indicating which dungeon has closed and which has opened.
• When disabled, players will not see notifications about rotation changes unless they are directly in the dungeon or in adjacent areas (e.g., nifhub, xmas_fild_02).
[ Monsters ]
• Now champion monsters can appear in the Niflheim Dungeon and Horror Toy Factory.
• Shiny Porings now look like Santa Porings.
[ Items ]
• The mechanics of the Myst Case Card and Mimic Card have been refined when submitted to Memory Bonfire or achieved card collection bonus.
• The bonus chance from equipping more than one Myst Case Card or Mimic Card now stacks (previously, only one of two identical cards worked).
• Bonus chances now work correctly and stack, e.g., when using the Myst Case Card with bonuses from the bonfire/collection, the chance of receiving boxes will be (1+0.25+0.25) = 1.5%, and when equipping two cards = 3%.
[ Prontera ]
• The Royal Battle Gatekeeper is now also located in the center of Prontera.
• Memory Bonfire is placed to the left of the entrance to the daily tower.
